So? most of them are likely rental properties that he doesn't even have time to visit..pays a real estate manager (or the condo association) to manage them/lease them out.

Assumes facts not in evidence. Also, it's not a good idea to have investment properties you know nothing about. The people managing said properties could take you to the cleaners if you're not on top of your investments. Somebody could be raking it in without poor John's knowledge or consent because he doesn't know what he has.

Can you tell me exactly, right off the top of your head, how many indvidual stocks and mutual funds and CDs you own TODAY?

Yup. But it's on a strict need to know basis and you don't need to know. If I told you.....well, you know the rest.

First off, it would be more accurate to say McCain's wife owns most of their seven houses.

The McCains' property is mostly in the name of Cindy McCain, chairwoman Hensley & Co, a huge Anheuser-Busch beer distributorship that was founded by her parents. Records show she owns residences across the country.

1. The largest home is a creekside ranch near Sedona, Ariz., spread over more than six acres. That's where McCain entertained vice presidential prospects, including Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, over Memorial Day weekend. Records show it includes three houses and is worth about $1.1-million. The owner is listed as the Cindy Hensley McCain Family Trust.

2. In nearby Phoenix, Cindy McCain owns two combined condo units worth about $1.7-million. They're part of the Residences at 2211 Camelback, which bills itself as "The Valley of the Sun's finest example of life beyond the expected" at "the most preferred urban residential address in the prestigious Camelback Corridor."

4. They also own a condo in La Jolla, Calif., that's worth more than $1-million. The building overlooks a park and the Pacific Ocean.

Records also link the McCains to three other residences.

5. An Arizona company called Wild River Rental LLC, which records show is owned by Cindy McCain, is listed as the owner of Phoenix condo worth more than half a million dollars. The McCains bought the condo for their daughter Meghan, according to a story in GQ magazine and confirmed through a public records search. The reporter compared the inside to "a spaceship furnished by West Elm. There's a giant silver chimney that extends out of her fireplace into the ceiling about twenty feet above."

6. and 7. Dream Catcher Family LLC, a domestic corporation formed by the McCain family, owns two condos in a beachfront complex in Coronado, Calif. Tax records show one is valued at $2.7-million. The other was purchased this year, according to sales records. A sales price was not available.

Though the Obama campaign forgot to mention that it's actually McCain's wealthy wife who owns most of the property, we'll overlook the legal status to say the implication is correct. They're right in saying that McCain has seven homes in five cities and three states.

Buffett's are likely all his .. he doesn't have to keep track of his wife's --McCain can't be expected to keep up with Cindy's shopping trips.

Lots of real estate is held by LLCs....if things go bust, that it is..that is all the assets the corporation holds..

even intercst knows that...

If he had rental property, he would have been advised by a financial planner to put it in an LLC or equivalent...so if one of his renters slipped on the sidewalk and sued for 5 million, they could only go after the assets of the LLC, likely only holding the mortgage on the property....and not intercst directly.

That is why folks use LLCs for rental properties.

But I guess libs that want the state to own everything and provide everything don't know things like that?

"tis encouraging that she has a Ranch, so's we will continue to be entertained by pictures of The President cuttin-brush™ "

So we saw "Jimmy" catching fish with his brother...??? no wait....he got freaked out on a fishing expendition....just sat around watching the peanuts grow...

And Reagan was off on his horse in California....

Meanwhile, Clinton was collecting tens of millions for the 'Clinton Library' and other funds...as a cover for raising money for Hillary's run for President...... otherwise, probably bonking some more interns.....or whatever he can get his hands on....
